Yes dude (Jeeeeez) SA has an airforce - be it small at the moment, its the second oldest airforce in the world. You will find a ton of context on … oh wait TH-cam! on the SAAF … the highest scoring allied (those were the good guys) fighter ace of WW2 was a South African (Marmaduke. St. John Pattel - google it) You millennials really need to get out a bit more 😂

Every so often in Soweto, though everyone knew this

It is wat it is

It’s grip’pen 😂

Safety has become a luxury in South Africa

There appear to be a couple of interesting astrophysics experiments on Marion Island; Probing Radio Intensity at high-Z from Marion (PRIZM) and Array of Long Baseline Antennas for Taking Radio Observation from Sub-Antarctic (ALBATROS) per Wikipedia.

Your video is too short to list all the reasons, sadly.

lol

DNA?

Bro this isn’t rocket science, the constitution protects criminals, Law Enforcement doesn’t work and I as a Citizens cannot use lethal force to protect property.

Thank you for the video, I'm a native of the Caprivi Strip myself

A more appropriate question is "Why is there so much crime in our world!!? It's worldwide malady, and it's because crime have been an "Industry" for the longest and GOVERNMENTS have been Criminal Enterprises for longer and wars is the most dual business, thinning the herd while getting rich of it by selling armament and stealing riches. When government is BY the rich FOR the rich, slavery is perfected, the citizens victimize eachother because attacking the government is sure death. It's called "Democracy" "Western" version. Subject or else.

"Why is there SO MUCH CRIME in South Africa?" Because the country is overpopulated the justice system is captured, corrupt and incompetent like the "government" and the police, unemployment is 40%.

Education, done.

Great video really gives the facts. Tragic and how SA has continually voted in the ruling party is beyond me. Hope change can come cos despite the many criminals and corrupt people, there are also many great SA folk who do so much good and try really hard to be different.

Corrupt; violent Anc and eff the cause of all problems in SA

Thanks for the episode, crime is killing the RSA.

I'm from Sweden, and I knew about Metroblitz.

Caprivi exists because it is in Africa. What a stupid question to ask why it exist. Whites have no audacity to talk about how they divided us for their colonists tendancies. Our painful stories have to be told by us not them who will always want to be on the driver's seat to drive the narrative to their bias as if the occupants of the colonozed lands were mindless , stupid and were resisting colonists.

how did bro not know we had a airforce my brain alomost exsploded

Wow. ignorance is bliss. The South African Air Force has a proud history stretching from 1920 to present times, though it's now been allowed to dwindle into a grounded paper tiger, which is very sad, considering it was the strongest and most capable air force in Africa once upon a time.

South Africa had an excellent air force once. That was a log time ago. Now it is just a joke, another corrupt African banana republic. It is sad.

The rise of history youtube channels

great video man!

Hey Asher, Never heard about Caprivi Strip. good to know.

For anyone who wants to know the answer without dedicating 9 minutes to it: When the Germans colonized the area, the strip was supposed to provide Germany with access to the Zambezi River, aiming for a trade route to the Indian Ocean. This didn't work out due to Victoria Falls being impassable. Now, it's just a skinny extension of Namibia, sticking out between other countries due to those old colonial ambitions. Done.

Thanks Asher! Quite a lot of my age group fought there against the Angolans. Great that this is no loner the case and that wildlife lovers can rather enjoy it

nice video

"didnt even know we had an airforce" my boet, we have the second oldest airforce in the world, how do you not know

Yes, we call traffic lights robots here in SA

I think South Africa had up to 1997 the second oldest Air Force or Commercial Airways in the world. ( I know what went wong). P.S The yanks inderectly had part of the change of scenery of this country.

The longest tunnel in South Africa is the Orange Fishriver tunnel.

I believe that I may have the key for the prison that those Italians were kept in. It has the letters PAK KA on the key ring. They were left by my late wife who was fascinated with the pass, especially on a motorbike. She got claustrophobic in the tunnel. She said that the key was from the prison on top of the pass. Who could I return it to if it is the key?

When I served in 1 Parachute battalion during the 80’s we were often based at Ondangwa airforce. There were always a couple of Mirage F1, Impala, Puma Helicopters, Alleouette gunships, Dakotas, bosbok spotters and occasionally some C130 hercs. Then one still had Rundu and Ruacana airforce bases with similar numbers. ……..and now we have only 2 fighter jets???? Another ANC stuff up

Good information about the island, thank you

We should change the name to real african name not these European settlers

Haven't tried to rename it yet have they ?

Very nice video! I enjoyed it very much

Thanks bra... wish it was still worth as much. And by the way why aren't we on the gold standard?

Hey Asher, great video, just a heads up, track gauge is the distance between the left and right rails on the track, Cape Gauge is 1067mm and Standard Gauge is 1435mm.

I still am very resistant to Mandela on the bank note. Money should not show political leaders, but rather notable academics, natural features or national symbols (Kimberley Hole, The Amphitheatre, Hole in the Wall, etc.)

Ive noticed that the security strips are not consistently in the same spot. Good security feature.

Read The Bank of England Q1 2014 Bulletin articles on “Money Creation in the Modern Economy.” They explain a lot about what money now is, who gets to create it and the important role of debt. Basically loans create deposits.

WAKE UP BABE ASHER BROUGHT THE HEAATTT

Absolutely useful information.

Other people / Countries can see our growth but us here in South Africa nothing we thank! I glad this guy is happy to see those Jets fly. Be greatfull and wish for better! Most of comments its like during apartheid everything was okay! Shame on them .

The cross on du Toits Pass was put up by the Italians for their friends who died in a lorrie accident while working on the pass.

What an incredible journey! Back in 1968, I embarked on a truly unforgettable adventure, spending a whole year on Marion Island. It all started after I completed my matric at Hoerskool Die Burger in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, South Africa. Landing a job as a Meteorologist at Jan Smuts Airport (OR Thambo) marked the beginning of an extraordinary chapter in my life. In March 1968, I found myself aboard a boat bound for the island, joining the 25th team to inhabit it. Imagine this: just seven of us, including four fellow Meteorologists, a Radio Operator, a Radio Technician, and a Medical Officer, setting foot on the island. We were armed with 12 movies, a treasure trove of books borrowed from the Pretoria Library, and provisions to sustain us, including 52 sheep and 100 chickens. Life on the island was a unique blend of challenges and beauty. We even had to adjust our diet by slaughtering a sheep roughly every 10 days. At that time, Marion Island was teeming with cats, scattered across the landscape and lurking in the store rooms. Despite the isolation, the bonds we formed and the experiences we shared were truly special. Now, at 74 years young, I often find myself reminiscing about those days. I've even tried to revisit the island, only to be told it's not open to tourists. Yet, the memories I hold dear, along with the friendships forged during that time, continue to enrich my life. So, thank you for sharing the video-it's been a delightful trip down memory lane. Groete, Andre Dirker
